Looking for Photos of II./ZG2 Bf110s with white or yellow noses circa 9.40

Hello,

I'm trying to put together profile packages for II./ZG2 (ex. I./ZG52) Bf110C or Ds during the BoB that display temporary white or yellow noses. I'm aware of examples showing this temporary finish put on the noses of fighter units beginning at the end of August or the beginning of September, 1940, from every Bf110 Zerstörer Gruppen but this one. This would have lasted only until this unit was withdrawn from combat about a month later. Can anyone provide me with a reference source for any photo of an a/c from this unit showing this marking, or has copies they would share or trade with me? I need example a/c from the Gruppenstab, 4, 5 and 6 Staffeln for this period. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any photos of downed aircraft in England from this unit that are intact enough to see this marking, although we have several unit crash photos from Sept. 1940. The required a/c would have carried the unit code "A2."

Who can help?

Regards,
